1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Vibrational spectroscopy can reach atomic spatial resolution via highly confined optical probes, offering local chemical insight. Yet, overtones and combination bands have not fully benefited due to weak transition moments. Here, we show submolecular-resolution detection of intense overtones and combination bands using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) for an asymmetric perylene derivative on silicon. The Raman peaks, barely visible in tunneling regime, are ∼10 times enhanced when the tip-apex contacts the molecule. This point-contact-mode TERS enables analysis of two anharmonicities with submolecular contrast: one arising from deviations of potential energy surfaces from harmonic shape (mechanical anharmonicity), the other from high-order polarizability derivatives (electrical anharmonicity). Spatial variation of mechanical anharmonicity reveals a vibrational energy exchange channel at the submolecular scale, highlighting potential to map energy transfer in real space.
